Popcorn kernels.

Original recipe from Simply Recipes


Perfect Popcorn Recipe (Makes 2 quarts)

Ingredients

3 tbsp canola oil
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
2 tbsp or more butter ( to taste)
salt

Method

1. Heat the oil in a 3 qt saucepan on medium heat.
2. Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil & cover the pan.
3. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from heat & count 30 seconds.
4. Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest( you can hear the loud noise of popping corns), gently shake the pan by moving it back & forth over the burner. Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release . Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid & dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl.

I mixed a bit of salt,food colorings,butter & golden syrup to the popped corns. Then bake in a shallow dish for about 5-10 minutes in the oven at 150C for a crispy sweet popcorn.
